Chapter 543: Blood Drop Worm

"Not treating it?" Fan Lao's expression stalled, then he angrily said, "Do you know what you are saying? If your illness is not treated, the consequences will be very serious. By then, let alone one leg, you won't even be able to save your life."

"I know, Fan Lao. My family situation is poor; there are elderly and children, and the whole family relies on me to work and earn money." The migrant worker looked miserable. "If I die, so be it, but what I fear most is being half-dead with one leg and dragging my family down."

"You..." Fan Lao was silent for a long time. Yes, this couple was just an ordinary pair of laborers; a man is the pillar of a home. If the pillar collapses, what happens to the family?

With his current ability, even if he performed an amputation, there would be many post-operative issues to deal with. This person could not afford to wait, and his family could afford it even less.

He slowly put down the scalpel in his hand, sighed, and said, "Then I will prepare some medicine that can temporarily alleviate the pain in your leg. If you control it with medicine, your life will be safe for ten months. After ten months..."

Fan Lao stopped speaking there. Even if he didn't say the following words, the couple understood.

"Thank you, Fan Lao. I will cherish these ten months of time well." The migrant worker bowed repeatedly.

"Actually, there is no need for amputation, and no need to die. This illness itself is not fatal." Chen Yu, standing to the side, rubbed his nose.

In truth, he didn't want to say it; after all, Fan Lao's face still needed to be saved, as his reputation in this area was very loud.

But if Chen Yu didn't speak up, this migrant worker would truly be dead for sure.

"You have a way?" Fan Lao squinted at Chen Yu.

"I do." Chen Yu nodded.

"Hmph, if you have a way, then hurry up and save the person. Why are you being so hesitant?" Fan Lao said angrily. "Are you afraid of making me lose face? As long as you can save the person, I would even kneel on the ground and beg you."

"Fan Lao is a person of true character." Chen Yu gave a thumbs up; he suddenly felt this old man had become cute.

"Brother, you, do you really have a way to cure my illness? Even Fan Lao has no way." The migrant worker still had a crying tone, but he looked at Chen Yu with hope.

"He is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the source of Huaxia's famous doctors, broad and profound. There will definitely be a way, so rest assured." Fan Lao comforted him.

"Big brother, then please help us." The woman knelt down to Chen Yu with a thud. "My Lao Liang cannot have anything happen to him; he is the pillar of our family."

"Big sister, please get up. It is just a worm; I can solve it." Chen Yu helped her up.

"This kind of Blood Drop Worm has countless sensory hairs on its body. Once it enters the human body, it will tightly adhere to the skin and flesh. If you forcibly drive it out of the human body, it will secrete a strong acidic liquid that will destroy human cell tissues, and this liquid will flow through the blood throughout the entire body. By then, the patient will rot all over and die."

Fan Lao looked at Chen Yu suspiciously. "You must think clearly. Do not force yourself if you do not have absolute certainty."

"Fan Lao, we are both healers. I certainly wouldn't do something I wasn't sure about, as it concerns a human life after all." Chen Yu smiled and said.

"Good, kid, I believe you. You must not let me down. If you dare to do something you aren't sure about and something goes wrong, I will risk my life with you." Fan Lao stared at Chen Yu, wanting to see something on Chen Yu's face.

But what he saw on Chen Yu's face was confidence. At this moment, his hanging heart finally let go. He believed Chen Yu's words; Chen Yu must have a way.

Chen Yu had the man sit down, then took out Silver Needles and pierced them along the pus-filled sores on his leg, sealing the major acupoints on his leg with over a dozen needles.

The moment the acupoints on his leg were sealed, the Blood Drop Worm attached to the migrant worker's leg seemed to become restless. It twisted continuously under the skin of the migrant worker's leg, changing its shape.

The migrant worker was so scared his face turned pale. Although he didn't feel pain as the thing twisted inside his leg, it was, after all, a living thing under the surface of his skin; that feeling truly made his hair stand on end.

"Don't panic. I just cut off the blood circulation in your leg. This thing feeds on blood and flesh; without the nourishment of blood, it is equivalent to cutting off its life source, which is why it is a bit restless." Chen Yu comforted him.

"Chen, Master Chen, go ahead and do it. At worst, it's just death." The migrant worker gritted his teeth. "Even if I die now, it's equivalent to being relieved. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

"You can put your heart at ease. With me here, you won't die." Chen Yu smiled. The migrant worker was still afraid. Next, he took out a bottle and poured a little white medicinal powder from it.

Chen Yu's space bracelet contained all kinds of medicine. A few days ago in Wangchuan, he had almost emptied an entire medicine warehouse. In his spare time, he would prepare some special medicines to keep in his space bracelet, so no matter what kind of illness it was, his medicine was always at his fingertips.

"Gu-Repelling Powder?" Fan Lao looked at the medicine in Chen Yu's hand, his expression changing slightly.

"That's right, it is Gu-Repelling Powder. Fan Lao is familiar with the Witch Clan, so naturally, you are familiar with Gu as well." Chen Yu carefully poured the medicine into the wound on the man's leg.

Strangely enough, these medicinal powders melted upon contact with blood, rapidly dissipating into the man's sore.

The man only felt a numbness in his leg. The medicinal powder Chen Yu had just poured in seemed to form a force, scurrying around the wound on his leg.

And the Blood Drop Worm attached under his skin became even more panicked. It kept changing shapes, surging toward the edges of the wound, as if trying to escape.

But the wound on the migrant worker's leg was sealed by Chen Yu with Silver Needles, so no matter how it tried to escape, it couldn't get out.

"This Gu-Repelling Powder is the nemesis of the Witch Clan's Gu Technique. It requires a ratio of over ten types of medicine to be made, and it even uses Precious Grade Medicine as a catalyst, making it extremely difficult to formulate." Fan Lao stared at Chen Yu. "And ordinary people wouldn't prepare these things."

"Since I asked Fan Lao about the origins of the Witch Clan, I was aiming for them." Chen Yu said indifferently. "So it is not surprising that I prepared these things to deal with their Gu techniques."

Fan Lao's expression changed. "This is effective against ordinary Gu. If it were a Life-Bound Gu of someone with profound witchcraft, it wouldn't have much effect."

"I know that." Chen Yu nodded. He smiled and said, "As long as it works against ordinary Gu, that is enough. As for profound Gu, I naturally have profound methods to deal with them."

Fan Lao stopped talking. He stared at the migrant worker's wound, because the Blood Drop Worm belonged to a type of Wild Gu, so the Gu-Repelling Powder was indeed effective against it.

But Chen Yu used the medicine cautiously and carefully. His dosage made the Blood Drop Worm feel uneasy, but did not make it struggle violently, using the method of boiling a frog in warm water to make it die slowly, so that it would not harm the human body.
